This kit is out of control. After being on the street for just a couple of months it's already got a reputation as the hot set up for precision rear brake control. This kit uses a right and left side 4 piston front brake caliper found on the 929's, the 954's the F4i's and F4's. You will have to source calipers (which are usually sold in pairs) as they don't come with the kit.

Why would you want to use a 4 piston caliper for your foot brake? Control and feed back at the lever. Face it, your stock rear caliper is sloppy. It slides on pins, so you have to press your foot pedal several inches just to take the slack out and get it to bite, then it's all about vaguely smashing the pedal until the bike starts to do what you want. A fixed position 4 piston caliper eliminates all of that. You actually get feed back at the pedal, a stiffer pedal and reduced effort. For those still chasing balance point this won't mean much, but for the rest of you it will mean more precise riding, making everything from no handed sit down wheelies and beyond more predictable and controllable.

In case anyone brings it up, the bottom caliper is far enough inside the wheel that it can't possibly contact the ground in the event of a crash.

Don't forget, your pads overhang the rotor on this kit. This is an important issue, because the total thickness of the pad material on each side is greater than the thickness of the rotor. This means that if you run an unmodified stock pad, the pads will eventually touch together where they aren't contacting the rotor. When this happens, you have no handbrake. Your options are to either grind the pad away where it does not contact the rotor and breathe brake pad dust, or purchase our pre-machined pads. Leave the lung cancer to us, the pads are just a couple dollars more than you'd pay for them at the Honda shop and you have more usable surface area of the pad contacting the rotor than you would if you butcher them up yourself with a 5" grinder.
